Last chance to catch KINATAY in SIFF!

Controversial Cannes discovery by prize-winning director Mendoza follows its naïve protagonist into a maelstrom of sexual violence, rape and dismemberment that become the crucible of his own destruction. Peping, a police academy recruit in search of quick money, joins corrupt policemen who turn out to be doing the work of a gang lord seeking repayment from a bar hostess. He follows them into an orgy of pain and destruction shot in HD in a real time flow that left audiences and critics shaken.
